The W5GI Mystery Antenna is a multi-band wire antenna that covers 80 to 6 meters with low feed point impedance. It is easy and inexpensive to build, similar to a G5RV but performs better on 20 meters. The antenna is difficult to model but has received positive feedback from users worldwide. It is ideal for hams without towers, requiring only two vertical supports about 130 feet apart. The antenna consists of three half waves in-phase on 20 meters with a half-wave 20 meter line transformer, offering a six-lobe pattern, gain broadside to the antenna, and low feed point impedance for easy matching.

End-Fed antennas are NOT balanced systems; but neither are verticals, ground planes, discones, windoms, zepps, Marconis, half-slopers, et al. Additionally, the low-impedance antenna port of your transmitter/receiver is not balanced.

The Quadrifilar Helical antenna provides circular polarization and complete hemispherical reception, which is precisely what is needed to receive the polar orbiting weather satellites, and as a 2 meter antenna it will receive horizontal, vertical and clockwise circular polarization.

This is a very small vertical 160m antenna that fits in the loft of even my small house. It was built as a way of getting a signal out on 160m for local AM contacts, but the local noise level was far too high to allow it to be used at night for this purpose. However, on WSPR it did a pretty good job with WSPR spots from a very long way across Europe being received when running 2.5W out.

Vertical antenna tests at the Sonten-Rancabali tea resort in Ciwidey, West Java. The assembly, led by Mr. Dian Kurniawan and the team, took just 20 minutes. Mrs. Mita performed the transmit check-in test, which was received across various regions in Indonesia, including Sulawesi, East Java, and Bangka Belitung. The team will release a video of the test soon and has thanked colleagues YB3HRY and YB0BAW for their reports.

The article describes the construction of a Lindenblad antenna, which is well-suited for receiving signals from low-orbiting weather satellites. The key points are: The Lindenblad antenna has an omnidirectional horizontal radiation pattern and is optimized for low to medium elevation angles, making it ideal for tracking passing satellites near the horizon. It is designed to receive circular polarization, which is common for weather satellite signals. The antenna is constructed using 4 folded dipole elements arranged on a cross-shaped frame. The necessary materials include a plastic junction box, PVC tubing, and aluminum rods to form the dipole elements. The article provides detailed instructions for preparing the components, assembling the dipoles, and connecting the feed lines to create the complete antenna. The completed antenna can be mounted on a vertical support, with the dipole elements angled at 30 degrees from horizontal, to optimize reception of the passing satellites. The author notes that the design was originally published in a now-defunct magazine, Meteo Satellite Inf", in 1993

This study compares the reception performance of vertical and horizontal loop antennas on HF bands in a densely populated area. Using identical Wellgood active loop antennas and receivers, the experiment monitored FT8 signals over 24 hours. Vertical loops outperformed horizontal loops on higher bands (10m, 15m, 20m), while horizontal loops excelled on lower bands (30m, 40m, 160m), particularly in receiving long-distance (DX) signals. The horizontal loop's advantage on lower bands may be due to better low-angle performance and reduced sensitivity to man-made noise. Further research is needed to fully understand these differences and optimize antenna placement for various HF applications.

The Icom IC-7851 features the capability to display two scopes simultaneously, providing frequency, mode, and antenna information for each receiver. Users can choose between vertical or horizontal display orientations, and the dual scopes are also viewable on a high-resolution monitor connected to the radio. Additionally, the IC-7851 allows for mouse connectivity, enabling users to click on signals displayed on either scope for quick tuning. A demonstration video is available showcasing this dual scope functionality.
